People here are too clear to program. They prefer to trade.
However, EE communication needs a lot of hw/sw engnieers doing something boring but necessary.
You can try China, India, or USA.

got a few MNCs and local companies who need ppl specialized in comms. In fact many embedded system companies here r doing comms products, or at least needs it as module of their products.

it is somehow boring and needs a lot of experience, maybe tht's why not many ppl like. but with all the wireless, mobile and satellite products getting popular, good comms engineers will be well demanded. however, for companies doing system-level integration instead of complete in-house development, a 20-person project might only need 1 or 2 persons specilized in comms, as general knowledge will be enough for integration purpose. so it would be better if u have a good fundation of other aspects such as hardware or firmware design, and with comms as ur nich strength.

if u want to be a hardcore comms developer, then it is recommended for u to persue a phd. As far as i know, my fren's company did develop the entire wireless module, from RF hardware to baseband, in house. they got 2 or 3 phds with a few years of experience to handle the design. however, i guess very few companies here do in-house development of comms modules, so u gonna search hard. Plz correct me if you have better understanding of the industry.

1. what is complete in-house development?
2. "from RF hardware to baseband" is also system-level integration, right?

1. complete in-house development: in-house development is developing with the company's own R&D force, in contrast to outsourcing.

2. i'm referring to the development of each module itself.

Ur 1st point is right only when the chip development is also done by the company's own R&D forcce. If not, this kind of in-house development still belongs to system level integration. But I don't think 2 or 3 phds are enough for both chip development(IC design/fabrication/test) and system integration later on.

2 or 3 phds maybe enough if they do not use any ICs in their design at all.
